We love Stark Future’s VARG MX and EX models at RideApart, including me. The fact that VARGs are starting to win off-road championship titles brings public opinion closer to my truth: these machines are ready to compete against established ICE models. The only caveat is that the aforementioned championship-winning bikes are considerably trickier than the
Factory racing gets all the headlines, but it’s never where most motorcycles earn their reputation. That’s the job of weekend racers, who load up pickup trucks before sunrise, wheel bikes into folding chairs, and try to navigate through muddy rabbit holes without crashing into trees. These are the riders everyone pays attention to, and Beta
BFGoodrich’s new Trail-Terrain T/A+ is designed specifically for crossovers. Published on July 18, 2026 04:00 am I have long preached that all-terrain tires are the most important upgrade for any adventure vehicle because they provide the traction and stability needed for steep, rough, unpredictable roads.

San Francisco-based electric dirt bike startup, Dorado Motorsports, has opened pre-orders for its V3 model, a full-size off-road electric motorcycle built around a swappable battery pack.

It doesn’t seem that long ago, Stark Futures were essentially banned from competing in many off-road championships. Then, when restrictions are lifted, electric motorcycle manufacturers will compete and either dominate or, at least, perform exceptionally well. And the same thing has happened once again, but this time in the world of freestyle Motocross. Patrick Evans
Over the years, Riju has occupied a niche corner of the motorcycle world. Mention the Spanish brand and most riders will think of lightweight enduro bikes, trail machines and the kind of motorcycles that spend more time shredding dirt than sitting in city traffic. That’s why the company’s latest machine is interesting, because it signals
It’s great to find out about new and upcoming motorcycles, isn’t it? Only, if you’re seriously thinking about throwing a leg up and getting on a new bike, chances are pretty good that you’ll want to ride it first. After all, these things cost money; There’s no point spending a huge chunk of your hard-earned
With the launch of Desmo 250 MX, Ducati has strengthened its foothold in the moto world. No, not the wider world of motorcycles, as it always has been. But the Motocross world, as the company now offers Motocross models in both 250 and 450 variants. But what sets the Desmo250 MX apart from other small-capacity

Every good finish was followed by some variation of “pretty impressive for an electric bike.” Honda’s RTL electric trials bike is probably reaching the point where this excuse will no longer
